Geschrieben von Harald Knobloch Ich habe dazu eine Privatmeinung, die sich nicht unbedingt mit der Meinung meines Amtsleiters decken muss. Na denn,....Ich hab zwar auch eine Privatmeinung dazu aber die behalt ich mal für mich. Viel interessanter weil aussagekräftiger scheint mir das Statement von Steve Huggins, dem Gewerkschaftssekretär der Feuerwehr von East-Sussex zu sein. In dem Bereich wurde CAFS massiv angeschafft da die "Oberste Heeresleitung" sich davon überzeugt gab. Ich hab den Text schon mal gepostet aber ich tu es gerne noch mal.....zur Mahnung kommender Generationen von Katalog-Gläubigen. Hi Reiner, Obviously I have received your email! The main problems we have had lately are reliability, with a number of occasions of foam failure inside compartments. The cause of these failures have been varied, from blocked filters, a design fault on how the system was fitted to our appliances and a change in specification to the hosereel which caused the hosereel to kink and restrict foam output. Our advice would be to ensure a strict maintenance program and a good installation design. We have found we have to inspect filters monthly and often have to have them changed. Regarding your concerns, we have ensured that 1:7 foam is only one of the methods we use to firefight. Originally it was sold to us as the only firefighting medium necessary but we have discovered over time that it is of no use on vehicle fires and fuel fires, amongst others. It is great to knock fires down but not so good at putting them out! We frequently have to use water to fully extinguish the fire. As a result we have 1 water hosereel, 1 foam hosereel and the normal water hose deliveries. Something that Schmitt may not tell you! We have discovered there is a large environmental impact of the actual 1:7 foam. The English Environmental Agency has insisted that when we train it does not enter the water course, as it removes a lot of oxygen from water as the foam decomposes. We have had to install special holding tanks on all our fire stations at considerable cost. It seems we have to try and block drain holes at incidents as well and let it decompose before it gets washed away. I hope this helps and is considered an act of international and professional solidarity. I am on leave for the next 2 weeks and out of the UK but will catch up on any further emails on my return. I hope you manage to put a balanced view forward to any prospective buyers and they don't get the same all round sales pitch as we both got. It is a good tool but not the answer to everything. Yours in Unity, Steve Huggins FBU Brigade Secretary for East Sussex | ||||
